nwsun, much of what Greg Palast said was tongue-in-cheek, and yes, he said it. From the front page of his website..... http://www.gregpalast.com/ This link won't be valid as a direct one to the article when it's no longer front page material. For now, it works.
I'm on Greg Palast's email list and it was in my inbox. Greg is pretty cynical and critical of just about EVERYONE, including Obama. I thought it was a really positive article for him. Didn't you? Here's the original link. http://www.gregpalast.com/obama-is-a-two-faced-liar-aw-right/
Then came Obama's money bomb. The House bill included $125 billion for schools (TRIPLING federal spending on education), expanding insurance coverage to the unemployed, making the most progressive change in the tax code in four decades by creating a $500 credit against social security payroll deductions, and so on.
It's as if Obama dug up Ronald Reagan's carcass and put a stake through The Gipper's anti-government heart. Aw-RIGHT!
About the only concession Obama threw to the right-wing trogs was to remove the subsidy for condoms, leaving hooker-happy GOP Senators, like David Vitter, to pay for their own protection. S'OK with me.
And here's the proof that Bam is The Man: Not one single Republican congressman voted for the bill. And that means that Obama didn't compromise, the way Clinton and Carter would have, to win the love of these condom-less jerks.
I don't know about you, but THIS is the change I've been waiting for.
